WOW! Check out the radical reduction in airframes delivered through 2010! They've gone from 84 to 159, nearly a 50 percent cut. ONE delivery in 2007, and only half expected production in the first full year...that first delivery is almost surely so they don't have to admit 2Q/3Q 2008 is the real start of the program.

Initial Buildout
2006 2
2007 25
2008 27
2009 45
2010 50

Revised Buildout
2006 0
2007 1
2008 13
2009 25
2010 45

IRR drops from 19% to 13% JUST from this delay!
